Embark on the Taylor Creek Trail, a moderate 5.0-mile (8.1 km) hike in Zion National Park that takes about 2 hours and 18 minutes to complete. You will gain 603 feet (184 metres) as you navigate numerous creek crossings, moving between firm soil, soft sand, and occasional hard rock sections. The route winds through lush vegetation like cottonwoods and juniper, set against the striking red rock spires of Navajo sandstone, leading you to the impressive Double Arch Alcove.
This trail is located in the Kolob Canyons section of Zion National Park, which typically sees fewer visitors than the main canyon. You will find parking available directly at the trailhead, making access straightforward for your visit. Be prepared for the creek crossings; your feet may get wet, especially when water levels are higher.
As you hike, keep an eye out for the historic Larson Cabin, an early 1930s structure that offers a glimpse into the area's past. The trail culminates at the magnificent Double Arch Alcove, a massive, naturally carved formation that provides a rewarding destination. This route offers a unique opportunity to explore a quieter, yet equally stunning, part of Zion.
